Economic theories are just that

Almost everyone says "you can't raise taxes in a recession", it makes it worse because it discourages economic activity.

Yet,

If you raise taxes on people who are saving money, and then lower taxes or refund money to people or businesses who are investing money or simply spending money, then that would actually help the economy. The problem wouldn't be the economics but the politics of getting it passed.
